I'm Alex D.—a photographer, a designer specializing in botanical jewelry, including cannabis-to-metal casting techniques. As a member of the Canadian Jewellers Association and Craft Ontario, I'll give you an unfiltered look at how art is created, studio techniques, and design thinking in each episode. Live every week from my artist’s studio on the St. Lawrence River in South Eastern Ontario Canada, Cannabis Goldsmith is a solo deep dive into art & design in all its forms. We explore everything from clearing evil spirits from your studio, to marketing and selling your own art.

I Wrote the Prime Minister

My Mom taught me how to write a decent letter of complaint, so I wrote one to our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who seems to have moved on from the impressive date-specific unaccomplished achievements he promised to Canadians just a few short months ago, in order to get elected.

I gave him some suggestions and told him Canada needs a sales and marketing focus to increase foreign exports, not political speeches. We can already sell into non-US markets so why aren’t we doing that?

I don’t expect a reply, and I think we should cut Carney loose before he wastes more of our time. He seems to be running out the clock on the free trade agreement... Then what? Let's try someone else, now, before it's too late.

I talk about how the belligerent, foul-mouthed US Ambassador to Canada’s attempt to out goof the Ontario premier at the National Gallery the other day is not a good look for anyone, and perhaps we should send him packing (which is our privilege).

I ‘m designing the most patriotic Canadian jewelry piece ever – a big Canada themed Sterling Silver trophy belt buckle rich with Canadian symbolism, nature and natural resources for next year’s Calgary Stampede. I’m calling it the SWEET CANADA buckle, and It‘s a fusion of art, politics, and national pride that will be truly magnificent.
